    <![CDATA[Four decades ago, Gale Sayers allowed his remarkable running  ability on the football field to speak for him. Today, Sayers has a  powerful and poignant message to pass along not only to athletes, but to  everyone, and it's a message straight from his heart.   Sayers, who grew up in modest surroundings in Omaha, Nebraska, chose to  attend  the University of Kansas, where he became an All-American halfback  before being selected by the Chicago Bears in the first round of the 1965  draft. He later became the youngest man ever inducted into the Pro Football  Hall of Fame, at age 34.    The story of Sayers's friendship with former Bears teammate Brian Piccolo,  who died of cancer in 1970, was immortalized in the 1971 made-for-TV movie  Brian's Song, starring James Caan as Piccolo and Billy Dee Williams as  Sayers.   The loss of Piccolo helped Sayers put his life in proper perspective. He  later realized his serious knee injury was just a minor blip on the radar  when it comes to life and death matters. Since leaving pro football, his  enduring message to young athletes is to respect the game, give back to the  community, and prepare for the future. Those are words he has lived by his  entire life, and they make Sayers one of the most compelling sports memoirs  in recent years.]]>
